Hopefully you will get used to it. Because you deserve it, Wynonna.
i'm trying to choose to believe that. (it's a work in progress, but she is trying.)
i just wanted you to hear it from me first
Thank you for telling me. And I'm really happy for you.
[It's nice to see something going Wynonna's way for a change.]

of course, there's no one i would want to know more
(and it's not perfect...doc is still married to someone else, and that sucks, but it's better than it was, at least.)
thanks for giving me the kick in the ass i needed, even if it got a little delayed thanks to the dragon sitch
Those dragons. Always getting in the way of the important moments.
But always. I'm just glad it wasn't too much of a kick.
But always. I'm just glad it wasn't too much of a kick.
if it was too much of one i probably would have done something the exact opposite of what i did, you know me.
Yeah, I do. But I'm really proud of you for going after what you want. It's hard to do.
Yeah, it is. But I have faith in you. Just don't be too hard on yourself if you do make a mistake, okay? You are only human.
it's true. and doc seemed open to it when i brought up the idea of trying to find a way out of his marriage.
That's good! Just ... be careful. I'm sure that kind of thing won't come for free.

right, but i was one of the people who got lucifer's messages and helped him get freed. he owes me.
I hope you're right.
[She doesn't know if Lucifer is that generous. He seems like the type to be owed rather than doing the owing.]
I still don't trust him.

I still don't trust him.
neither do i, but that doesn't mean i won't try to use what little leverage i have
Then good luck. I hope it works out in your favor.
Please do. And if you guys need a hand with anything, you know where to find me.

I need a copy of everything you have on the Order.
[if these were normal circumstances, he'd be asking rather than order, but after everything that's happened these last few months, Aiden has lost all chill. he, personally, needs to put an end to the Order, before they hurt the people he cares about again, before he ends up a fucking ghost, caught between Hell and something much, much worse again. this needs to end now, and until it does, he has no time for pleasantries. until it does, there is no Dana, only Zuul. until it does, it's all the Vigilante, all the time, because he's terrified]
[he can apologize when this is over or when he's dead, because it's one or the other, now]

[Waverly is also not the steadiest on her feet at the moment, for similar reasons. Becoming a ghost and knowing that there's a reason you can't go back, but unclear of the whys is unsettling to say the least, but the problem is, she's not sure if what she has is helpful.
She's been trying so hard to stay ahead, and every step she takes leaves her falling behind. But at least she didn't turn into a zombie.
When she gets this text from Aiden, however, she doesn't read the brusqueness in it, at least not right off the bat. The first thought, the useless thought is:]
I don't have a copier.
[Then, for the actual helpful response:]
Sorry. You can come and copy whatever you want. I'll be around if there's a note you can't make sense of.

[it's probably a good thing that that initial response is over text, not in person, for how hard Aiden linefaces in response. as it is, it takes him a minute to stop frowning and respond]
I'll be by in a few minutes.
[and so he comes, some ten, fifteen minutes later, dressed for war. it's not just in the fact that he's wearing the trenchcoat -- though that's generally been a good indication that he means business, as long as Waverly's known him. it's the fact that he's wearing the gaiter mask, down around his neck but visible, for as little good as it will do him, here. it's in the fact that he's carrying more than just a handgun, an assault rifle hidden under the tails of the coat. it's the the fact that the ice he has pulled around him almost justfies the fact that he's dressed for winter, here in Hell of all places. he's absolutely not fucking around]
[there's something hard in his expression, too, when he slides up to the bar, to Waverly] Room unlocked?

[It's clearer in person why her response was so distracted once he sees her. She's a bit too far into a bottle of whiskey to have been drinking on her own - she wasn't. Wynonna's around and is probably hitting the head - but she still seems off-center, trying to refresh the gaps in her memory.
And then, seeing Aiden come in looking as though he's prepared for anything is both helpful and not all at the same time. The Order has made it clear that they don't necessarily need to be present in order to affect them, but there's something that's always been comforting about hard weaponry.
Peacemaker and Waverly's shotgun are both definitely nearby and present if needed.
She nods at the question.]
Yeah, it's all there. Knock yourself out.

[it's like he'll tell Jackson, some fifteen years from now -- he may not need the gun, but he feels better having it, just in case. it's a security blanket, even if it may or may not protect him from the Order, just as much as the armor that is the trenchcoat, the mask is]
[either way, though, he hums in response and pushes away from the bar, heading for the door. he'll take pictures of everything, not worried about getting hacked for how much encryption, mundane and otherwise, is on his phone -- that way he knows he won't miss anything, that he'll see everything. he won't have any questions, right now, that in mind, but -- ]
I might need you later.
[ -- he does have that request, unrelated to the murderboard]

Yeah, of course.
[Whatever he needs. They've been friends long enough at this point that she would offer it regardless, but especially after last month and everything that happened.]
I don't think I ever thanked you. For finding Nicole.
[Mostly because she was dealing with the shock of her girlfriend being dead.]

[she might rethink that when she finds out what he wants help with, but they'll cross that bridge when they get to it. what he has in mind is happening with or without her -- with would just be easier, logistically]
[right now, though, he glances back at her, and something in his expression wavers -- a hint of warmth on an otherwise cold winter day. he looks away quickly after that, back to the muderboard] I thought she was my sister, at first.
[not that realizing she wasn't made it any easier. not that he wouldn't have gone to her, brought her back, if he had realized sooner. he likes Nicole. he never thought he'd feel that way about a cop]
Her name's Nicole, too.
[has that come up before? who fucking knows?]
